francesca88 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I went down to the chicken coop when I got in from work this evening as I normally do to collect eggs, and imagine my shock when I discovered this monstrosity in the nest box!! It weighs a whopping 171.9 grams! I want to crack it open to see how many yolks it has but I don't want to ruin it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkisland Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I had one like that last year and it wasn't even a double yolker. And unfortunately, Hilda, the poor ex batty who laid it developed a massive prolapse a couple of days later and had to be put to sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeloo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Wow. That is enormous! Would it even fit into a standard carton? I had a big one before Christmas, but not quite that size. It was about 1 1/2 times the normal ones. I put it into some Christmas cookies. I thought it might be a double yolker, but, nope, just one huge yolk!

Space Chick Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 So.... Was it a double or triple Yolker.... You must have cracked it by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francesca88 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Hello! Well I finally cracked open my huge egg last weekend - and this was what was inside!! I was a little bit disappointed actually - I thought there might have been four or five yolks! Anyway, have just been down to the nest box to collect today's eggs and found this - Sorry about the quality of the picture (you can't make out what the scale says - but it is 162.6g!!) I wish I knew who was laying these whoppers!! Edited February 6, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
